Plasterboard

Available in:

1800x900 @ 12.5mm

2400 x 1200 @ 12.5mm

Product Overview

Compact plasterboard sheet,  12.5mm square edge, for use in ceilings, partitions, and wall linings where reduced board size aids handling and fixing.

The square edge profile allows boards to butt together without a recess, making it suitable for textured finishes, direct decoration, or traditional jointing and plaster skim methods.

Smaller dimensions improve manoeuvrability on site, particularly in confined spaces or where access is limited, while still providing the same dependable performance as full-size boards.

At 12.5mm thick, the board represents the industry standard, offering reliable strength and stability for partitions and linings while minimising flex and reducing the risk of surface cracking.
